1) Creative drawing panel with the size of screenwidth/quality,screenheight/quality
2) fill black
3) draw image for each light source(white circles, with transparency(semi-transparency for softer edges) by via screenx(posx,posy)*quality,screeny(posx,posy)*qual ity
4) render drawing panel at 0,0 and at the scale of quality

I haven't looked at the script in a long time though, so I could be making mistakes... but as for flexibility? You're kind of screwed. Last time I tried this it was either totally opaque, or 99% transparent. Those were the only levels of transparency it would allow.

Honestly, you'd be better off looking at the script yourself, as I'm working from memory here.
